Maher Achour Eliminated in 3rd Place ($74,100)
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Simeon Spasov folded his button and Maher Achour moved all in for around 4,000,000 from the small blind. Giorgiy Skhulukhiya tanked for a moment before calling.
Maher Achour: 10♣10♥
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♠5♠
"This is a bluff hand, not a calling hand," Achour said as he and Skhulukhiya exchanged a fist bump heading to the 9♥7♠6♣ flop. The turn was the A♥ and Skhulukhiya took the lead with a pair of aces.
The river came the 9♦ and Achour was sent to the rail in third place. Skhulukhiya and Spasov are taking a short break before the start of heads-up play.
